Bittersweet Ending: Comedic version Assuming the player is at all successful at making their own level, Maze decides to join up with you as a new, far less Ishmael-run studio.and brings along the entire original development team, plus a lot of other, often completely extraneous people.Once you gain the flight power, you can edit any mook in the game to be airborne. Airborne Mook: The Whirlybirds, flying robots who can't be trapped.A series of very out-of-the-way messages from Lief Troper, one of the devs, explains how the Pro came to be self-aware. The Magic Circle provides examples of the following tropes: He bequeaths upon you, a playtester in over their head, the ability to rearrange and manipulate several assets of the game in an attempt to get you to finish the game before it's cancelled for good.

I got to the sky bastard by telling my flying mushrooms to go out to the first floating island, then gave float to the rock tossed it within edit range of the wizard, and took back fly, letting them stand on the island, gave fly to the rock, had it move partway to the second island, gave it float, gave fly back to the wizard, and so on until I got all the way to the main platform.
